[1] EPIC Files for Rehearing in Airport Body Scanner Case
=======================================================================
Citing significant errors in an earlier decision, EPIC has petitioned
the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear EPIC's
challenge to the Transportation Safety Administration's controversial
body scanner program. EPIC is challenging both the factual and legal
conclusions of the court. "The court overstated the effectiveness of
the body scanner devices and understated the degree of the privacy
intrusion to the traveling public," stated EPIC Executive Director
Marc Rotenberg.
EPIC's petition for rehearing highlights the distinction between the
images viewed by TSA officials and the raw, naked images captured by
the body scanner devices. According to documents EPIC obtained via the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) - including technical specifications,
vendor contracts, and hundreds of complaints from US air travelers
about the body scanners - the agency specifically designed the devices
to capture, store, and transfer naked images of screened individuals.
The TSA claims to filter the images, but in a related suit against the
United States Marshall Service, EPIC obtained 35,000 of the original,
stored images from a single body scanner operated in a courthouse.
EPIC's petition also challenges the finding that the scanners detect
"liquid and powders." As a factual matter, the finding was never
established, nor did the TSA itself make any such claims.
EPIC further argues that the court wrongly concluded that the TSA is
not subject to a federal privacy law that prohibits video voyeurism.
The panel of judges found that TSA body scanner employees are "engaged
in law enforcement activity," contrary to the TSA's own regulations,
which state that the Transportation Security Officials who conduct the
airport screening are not engaged in law enforcement activity.
EPIC did not challenge the court's determination that the TSA
unlawfully failed to provide an opportunity for public comment on the
controversial screening program, or that travelers have a right to
opt-out of airport body scanners.

[2] FTC Finds Mobile Phone App Violated Children's Privacy Law
=======================================================================
In the first privacy settlement involving a mobile application, W3
Innovations, a CA-based mobile-phone game developer, has settled
charges with the Federal Trade Commission for violations of the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Commission
imposed a fine of $50,000 against the company for "illegally collecting
and disclosing personal information from tens of thousands of children
under age 13 without their parents' prior consent."
W3 Innovations, LLC, doing business as Broken Thumbs Apps, develops and
distributes mobile apps for the iPhone and iPod touch that allow users
to play games and share information online. The FTC's complaint charged
that W3 Innovations and company president and owner Justin Maples
distributed iPhone/iPod Touch apps that collected and maintained
thousands of email addresses from users. Many of these apps are geared
towards young children and were listed in the "Games-Kids" section of
Apple Inc.'s App Store. Titles include "Emily's Girl World," "Emily's
Dress Up," "Emily's Dress Up & Shop" and "Emily's Runway High Fashion."
"The FTC's COPPA Rule requires parental notice and consent before
collecting children's personal information online, whether through a
website or a mobile app," said Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz via
the FTC's web site. "Companies must give parents the opportunity to
make smart choices when it comes to their children's sharing of
information on smart phones."
EPIC previously testified before the Senate Commerce Committee and
submitted comments to the FTC on the need to update COPPA and to
clarify the law's application to mobile and social networking services.

[3] Facebook Makes Some Changes, Privacy Complaints Still Pending
=======================================================================
In response to several complaints filed by EPIC with the Federal Trade
Commission, Facebook announced August 23 that it would make some
changes in its business practices, including providing more accurate
information about the disclosure of user data and new safeguards for
photo tagging.
Privacy controls for sharing photos, posts, and other content now will
be inside user profile and status pages instead of on a separate page.
Users will have greater flexibility in selecting who sees each
individual piece of information, and can now can approve or deny "tags"
before they appear public. However, Facebook now routinely posts
location and status updates; a user no longer has the ability to
affirmatively "check in."
EPIC, along with other privacy organizations including the Center for
Digital Democracy, Consumer Watchdog, and the Privacy Rights
Clearinghouse, have filed several complaints with the Commission about
Facebook's automated tagging of users, changes in Privacy settings, and
transfers of personal data, stating that Facebook's practices were
"unfair and deceptive." In the June 2011 FTC complaint about Facebook's
new automated facial recognition feature, EPIC alleged that "[u]sers
could not reasonably have known that Facebook would use their photos to
build a biometric database in order to implement a facial recognition
technology under the control of Facebook."
In response to a July 2011 letter from Connecticut Attorney General
George Jepson, Facebook agreed to run ads that link users to their
privacy settings and show them how to opt-out of Facebook's facial
recognition program. The ads are new, but Facebook has failed to
implement an opt-in model for its facial recognition technology. Even
if a user is able to opt-out of being tagged in photos, there is no way
to opt-out of being added to Facebook's facial recognition biometric
database itself. EPIC's complaints at the FTC are still pending.

[4] Twitter Adopts Privacy-Enhancing Default to HTTPS
=======================================================================
Twitter announced August 23 that it will implement HTTPS functionality
by default in order to encrypt data and protect privacy for all
Twitter users. HTTPS is an Internet protocol allowing web servers to
use encryption to securely transfer and display content. Twitter's new
policy promotes enhanced privacy for Twitter users, particularly when
the service is accessed through public Internet access points. However,
because default HTTPS will be phased in gradually, users should still
specify "Always use HTTPS" in their account preferences.
Twitter's policy change stems from several security incidents in early
2011, including two in which hackers gained administrative control of
the popular web site. After these attacks, the Federal Trade Commission
investigated Twitter's business practices, resulting in a settlement
agreement that requires Twitter to stop "misleading consumers about the
extent to which it protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality
of nonpublic consumer information."
As a further condition of the settlement, Twitter is required to
maintain a "comprehensive information security program" for a period of
10 years. Every violation of the settlement could cost Twitter up to
$16,000.
In 2009, EPIC pointed out the importance of default HTTPS in a
complaint to the Commission about Google's Cloud Computing Services.
EPIC cited the growing dependence of American consumers, businesses,
and federal agencies on cloud computing, and urged the Commission to
take "such measures as are necessary" to ensure the safety and security
of information for Cloud Computing services.

[5] German DPA Asks for Removal of Facebook 'Like' Button on .de Sites
=======================================================================
Thilo Weichert, Data Protection Authority commissioner for the German
state of Schleswig-Holstein, has called on web site owners in his state
to remove Facebook "Like" buttons. Sites that do not comply by the end
of September 2011 could face a formal complaint, a prohibition order,
and/or a penalty fine that may reach 50,000 Euros.
After conducting a thorough legal and technical analysis in conjunction
with the Independent Centre for Privacy Protection (ULD), Weichert
concluded that when users click the "Like" button on web pages, traffic
and content data are transferred to Facebook's US-based servers.
"Whoever visits facebook.com or uses a plug-in must expect that he or
she will be tracked by the company for two years. Facebook builds a
broad individual - and for members even a personalized - profile,"
said Weichert. ULD considers such profiling an infringement of German
and European data protection law.
In recent weeks, Germany has issued several statements against
Facebook. German data protection authorities have said that Facebook's
new facial recognition feature is illegal and have asked the site to
remove it and delete all related information: "[E]ven if Facebook was
offering a user-friendly method to opt-out, it would not meet national
or European data protection requirements. For storage of biometrics a
pre-issued, unambiguous consent by the affected is required."
Authorities also have demanded that network users have more control
over their e-mail address books in Facebook's "Friend Finder" tool.
EPIC has written several complaints to the Federal Trade Commission
regarding Facebook's privacy infringements and is awaiting determination
by the agency.

=======================================================================
EPIC's Verdi to Argue Privacy Case in Federal Court of Appeals
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has granted EPIC's request to argue
in support of a Jane Doe police deputy in Luzerne County, PA, who is
suing to recover monetary damages for privacy violations. At oral
argument, EPIC Senior Counsel John Verdi will urge the court to hold
that the Luzerne County Sheriff's Department violated Ms. Doe's
Constitutional right to informational privacy when a coworker captured
semi-nude video footage without her consent during a mandatory
decontamination shower. The 2007 footage was uploaded onto a government
computer. EPIC has filed an amicus brief in the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals arguing that the case implicates "freedom, intimacy, autonomy,
and human dignity." EPIC has filed similar briefs in other cases,
including NASA v. Nelson, decided by the Supreme Court earlier this
year. Oral argument is scheduled for September 13 in Philadelphia.

EPIC Settles Street View Case with Federal Trade Commission
EPIC and the Federal Trade Commission have agreed to settle an open
government lawsuit regarding the Commission's decision to close the
investigation of Google Street View. EPIC sought documents from the FTC
after members of Congress urged the Commission to pursue an aggressive
investigation and privacy agencies worldwide determined that Google
violated national privacy laws. In 2010 and 2011 the Federal Trade
Commission provided EPIC with documents suggesting that the agency
believed it lacked enforcement authority over Google. However, the 2010
closing letter in the case also indicated that the Commission never
undertook an independent investigation to determine whether other
violations of law may have occurred. The case is EPIC v. FTC, No.
11-cv-00881 (D.C. Dist. Ct 2011).

Federal Judge: Locational Data Protected Under Fourth Amendment
A federal district judge ruled August 22 that law enforcement officers
must have a warrant to access cell phone locational data. Judge
Nicholas Garaufis of the Eastern District of New York found that
"The fiction that the vast majority of the American population consents
to warrantless government access to the records ... of their movements
by 'choosing' to carry a cell phone must be rejected .... In light of
drastic developments in technology, the Fourth Amendment doctrine must
evolve to preserve cell-phone user's reasonable expectation of privacy
in cumulative cell-site-location records." Courts are divided regarding
whether historical mobile phone data, including location, should be
protected by a warrant requirement. EPIC has filed amicus briefs in
several related cases.

Israel Grants Google Street View Conditional Approval
The Israeli Justice Ministry has granted Google conditional approval to
use its Street View mapping service in Israel. In return, Google has
accepted several limitations, including allowing Israeli citizens to
request further blurring of buildings and license plates, accepting
Israeli legal rulings in any lawsuit, providing information to the
public about the service, and applying "privacy by design." Other
countries, including the UK, France, and Spain, have determined that
Google broke privacy laws when Street View cars collected wi-fi data
from private wireless networks. In the US, the Federal Communications
Commission launched an investigation after EPIC filed a complaint
asking the Commission to investigate violations of federal wiretap law
and the US Communications Act.
